Default Blue Angels Paint Scheme

How hard is the Blue Angels paint job to see on a jet while it is flying. Thinking about getting a jet that is painted in the scheme.

Thanks

It's really up to you. I flew a friends BA F18 and I was very uncomfortable with it, while my friend loved the color scheme. Try it on something cheap first, I believe Extreme RC has an outlaw flying wing that is BA.

I have owned several small A-4`s in Blue Angels colors and did not have a problem seeing the jet.

All of my last 4 pattern planes had that scheme and several of my jets. It is for me an easy scheme to see however each of us are differant as to which colors we see best. For me the contrast between the dark blue and the yellow really made the yellow stand out in the distance. What I have always done when thinking about a scheme is to take notes while driving as to what colors I can see best in diffeant driving conditons far away.

That's what works for me also. But the only airframe I have flown in that scheme is a YA F-18 twin (big and slow )
